Week 58: Pizza & Monte Ne - March 23, 2019

Elder Wright continues to work on putting location information into FamilySearch. He apparently enjoys learning about the different areas! 
Hey there! So, this week has been fairly chill lately in terms of stuff happening. The only things that were really note worthy (other than going to the temple a couple of times this week) are the things that are in the title. On Monday after district meeting, My companion, a couple of other missionaries, and I each ordered a pizza and ate them while playing games! It was a really fun experience and I'm glad I got to be a part of it! As for the other half of the title, that is something that I discovered while working at zone. While researching about Arkansas, I had to research about a resort that was located where Beaver Lake currently resides. This resort, known as Monte Ne, was a resort made by William Harvey, a guy that you might recognize from history. Both Harvey and Monte Ne have an extensive and hilarious history that I would be able to give justice to on here, so I would suggest reading the Wikipedia article. Let's just say, if you enjoy at laughing at others weird failures, you get a kick out of this. Anyway, things are pretty much the same up here. Transfers are coming up this Tuesday, so don't be surprised if I end up emailing at a different time than usual. Have a great week, and remember the importance of temple work!!
Till then,
Elder Wright

Here are some other things Elder Wright told Priscilla when they chatted:
*He talked about Monte Ne, Arkansas and William Henry who helped establish the silver standard, build a resort and amphitheater in the middle of nowhere, and wanted to build something called "The Pyramid". Monte Ne continued to be sold off and is now called Beaver Lake.
*His District Leader Elder Butters and he want to kickstart their own city
*They formed a "Dominos Squad (it's a Star Wars Clone Wars reference) by having everyone buy their own pizza between his companionship and another trio companionship
